About product

Spad XIII and Rickenbacker, a stylized kit with interior fittings (Suyata)

An unassembled and unpainted plastic kit from the stylized range of compact simplified models. It has no declared scale — the fuselage is deliberately shortened and the proportions adjusted into endearing shapes, while the recognizable features of the real subject stay readable. According to the name, the set is supplemented with a worked interior and with a pilot figure. The exact number of parts and the rest of the contents of the package are stated on the packaging of the kit.

The real subject

The SPAD XIII was a French single-seat fighter biplane of the late First World War, built around an inline water-cooled engine. It was marked by a strong structure, good speed and a steep dive, which made it one of the most widespread fighter types of the closing stages of the war; American units flew it as well. Eddie Rickenbacker was among the best-known American fighter pilots of the period, and his name is permanently linked with the SPAD XIII.

Building and painting tips

Stylized kits have larger and simpler parts, which makes the surface show all the more. Snip the sprue gates off with nippers and level them, glue the joints with thin cement for plastic and sand them down. We recommend painting and finishing the interior before you close the fuselage — on a model with a worked interior that is the only moment you can reach it. Paint the pilot figure separately and fit it at the very end. The wooden and fabric surfaces of period airplanes are well imitated by thin translucent coats over a light base; then even the whole thing out with a varnish in the degree of sheen you have chosen.

Who the model is for

  • Anyone interested in stylized airplane models with no claim to an exact scale
  • Enthusiasts of First World War aviation who want a lighter treatment
  • Modelers looking for a shorter project with room for painting an interior
  • Anyone buying a model as a gift or as a piece for a room

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No scale is declared. It is a stylized model with deliberately shortened proportions, which is not placed in a collection by scale.

According to the name the model is supplemented with worked interior fittings. The exact extent of those fittings is given in the manufacturer's instructions.

The pilot's name is given directly in the name of the product, so the figure is part of the set. How it is executed is stated on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions.

Stylized kits tend to be simpler in shape than exact scale models, so they make a good start. It pays to paint the interior and the figure before closing the fuselage.
